Quote by John Shelby Spong
All religion seems to need to prove that it's the only truth. And that's where it turns demonic. Because that's when you get religious wars and persecutions and burning heretics at the stake.
Summary
This quote suggests that when religions strive to establish their exclusive truth and suppress other beliefs, it can lead to harmful consequences. By condemning and persecuting those who do not share the same beliefs, religious conflicts intensify and result in violence, such as wars and executions. The quote implies that the pursuit of religious dominance, rather than spiritual enlightenment or morality, can transform religion into something dark and destructive.
